Git is a free and open source distributed version control system. It handles projects of all sizes quickly and efficiently, while providing support for rolling back changes when needed.

GitLab is built on top of (and with) Git, and provides you a Git-based, fully-integrated platform for software development. GitLab adds many powerful features on top of Git to enhance your workflow.
